I called around down here where I am located, to have the tins stripped and powder coated black is a few hundred bucks. I could do it with the paint I purchased, but with trying to find the time to do it?... I'm dropping everything off on Friday.

What's the collective wisdom on the fan shroud? I don't think it's intended to be a heatsink / meant to pull heat away from the motor in any respect. Is there anything wrong with having the fan housing media blasted and cera-koted? A quick search shows mixed opinions.

Thanks for your wisdom here (I hope it's cool to piggy back on the original thread here...)

I would blast and clear coat to keep it pretty.
Definitely keep the tins black.


As it is written, so it shall be done. Dropping the parts off on Friday, I'd do it sooner if my schedule allowed.

Thanks again!
